Ah, in your earlier post you put that you were using version 2.5.2.

This should work:

/-----------------------------------------------
chExceptionMusic = \notes {
  <c g>1-\markup { \super "5" }}

% add to existing exceptions.
chExceptions = #(append
  (sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions chExceptionMusic #t)
  ignatzekExceptions)

someMusic = \chords {
      \set chordNameExceptions = #chExceptions
      f^3 g^3   %  -- that's f ^ 3 and g ^ 3; alt: f:sus g:sus
 }


\score {
  << \context ChordNames \someMusic
    \context Voice \someMusic
  >>
  }
-----------------------------------------------/

The only difference is that version 2.2.x requires "\notes" in that 
first line.
